Embark on a guided nature walk along the trails of the park to spot some of the most exotic wildlife such as Indian elephants, tigers, leopards, deer, and more. Take a bamboo rafting excursion and sail through tranquil waters of the Periyar Lake, surrounded by lush green forests with animals quenching their thirst along the banks.
Hiking to the Anamudi Peak, the highest peak of South India, is an unmatched experience for daredevils seeking thrill. Visit the Tata tea plantations for some tea-tasting experience and capture scenic views of the hills. Enjoy and unwind at the beautiful Attukad Waterfalls, which are surrounded by refreshing greenery and crystal-clear waters.
You can't leave Kerala without experiencing an adventure on its serene backwaters. Rent a houseboat or take a canoe ride and re-discover tranquility among the fishing villages and coir shops. The Alleppey Beach is yet another place to chill and rejuvenate with its clear waters and tropical vibes. You can also explore the Krishnapuram Palace, which is an archaeological museum that exhibits relics from the past.
For an extra thrilling experience, try out parasailing in Alleppey or trekking in Munnar. If you have more time, you can visit the other places in Munnar like the Mattupetty Dam or Kundala Lake. Also, you can spend more time at Periyar National Park by staying at one of its jungle lodges. In case of less time, you can skip the tea plantation or spend fewer hours in Alleppey Beach. Don't forget to carry sunscreen, mosquito repellent, and comfortable clothes for the trip.
